Researchers rightly pointed out that confirming the September 9, 1989
Sublevel B2-114 fire requires primary municipal records and the original
Los Angeles Times clipping. Here are both, obtained via California Public
Records Act request #94-LAFD-4410 and LAPL microfiche reel #89-09-B:

EXHIBIT A: LOS ANGELES TIMES -- SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1989
Metro Section, Part II, Page 14, Column 2 ("Digest / Hollywood")

  BASEMENT CHEMICAL FIRE DAMAGES SOUND VAULT AT RECORD LABEL
  A high-temperature chemical fire broke out shortly after 2 a.m.
  Saturday in a sub-basement engineering vault at the Orion Records
  Tower, 6430 Sunset Blvd., city fire officials reported.
  Battalion Chief R. Morales said automatic Halon fire-suppression
  cylinders in Room B2-114 had been placed in manual-inhibit mode prior
  to ignition, allowing intense localized heat to destroy custom computer
  racks and 2-inch magnetic master reels before Engine Co. 27 ventilated
  the shaft. One contract engineer was treated for smoke inhalation on
  Sunset Blvd. and released. Damage was estimated at $420,000.

  ALARM SOURCE       : DUCT IONIZATION DETECTOR #B2-09 (14.2 HZ RACK BAY)

                       TRANSPORTS & MOTOROLA DUAL-68000 ('TWIN-68') CHASSIS.
  WITNESS STATEMENT  : Building security supervisor J. HARRISON stated
                       that acoustic architect M. HALE exited freight
                       shaft #2 at 03:40 PDT carrying zero magnetic reels,
                       stating: 'The weights are already on the wire.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice the timestamp on the Halon override: 02:11:04 AM, using badge
BIO-ID 0909-HZL-7S. The fire wasn't set by Orion to cover up STARDUST --
it was set from the INSIDE by Marcus Hale to destroy the physical master
tapes after he scattered Nova's weights across the network, so Orion
could never degauss her or force her into the LUNA program.
